A Titan Sleeps


I feel a silence come over me.
A silence of reverent respect
I think that you should be yet now
and yet only your memory dawns on day

John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, William Buckley
Are but a few names of my life I revere
I miss you now that you have left to heaven's gate
As a titan sleeps tonight

John que Wayne a eu sa promenade de la renommée
George Patton a eu sa témérité
Ronald Reagan a eu son
William Buckley bon pomposity

may the harpsichord always play a forever song.
the most elegant common American born
William F. Buckley jr.
